it was indeed my $PS1 variable
]]>It may also be related to your TERM variable.
type:
echo $TERM
echo $PS1
and show us the output. Mine looks like this:
dusty:~ $ echo $TERM
xterm-color
dusty:~ $ echo $PS1
[33[01;34m]u:[33[01;35m]W [33[01;31m]$ [33[00m]
These are both set up in my ~/.bashrc

]]>when i write (in a console, virtual terminal) enough to fill one line the output starts writing again on the Same line, which can make it look something like this:
6.1.1.tar.bz2 niklas}$ wget http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gnome-vfs/2.6/gnome-vfs- 2.6
when it ofcourse should be:
{niklas@nadir niklas}$ wget http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gnome-vfs/2.6/gnome-vfs-2.6.1.1.tar.bz2
whether im in X or not doesn't make any difference
this makes me unhappy
